Bug #52940 ndb_*_count status variables ARE session related in contrary what docu says.

Description:
The MySQL Cluster docu claims that the status variables

ndb_scan_count  numeric   GLOBAL
ndb_execute_count   numeric   GLOBAL
ndb_pruned_scan_count   numeric   GLOBAL (estimation)

Are global and not per session.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-status-variables.html

My experiments show something different

How to repeat:
mysql> show global status like 'ndb%count';
+-----------------------+-------+

| Ndb_scan_count        | 0     |          
| Ndb_pruned_scan_count | 0     |          
+-----------------------+-------+

Suggested fix:
It would be nice having those status variables also globally. If not please adapt the docu accodingly.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described using mysql-5.1-telco-7.1 tree.

I'm not sure in which version this bug has been resolved but as of MySQL Cluster 7.5.7 the ndb_*_count status variables are global.

Please ignore my previous comment (sad that it's not possible to edit/delete comments/posts here!).
The bug still affects mysql 5.7.19 ndb-7.5.7
